Pull down search not working on iPhone

Hey,

It has been a long time since the search from the home screen on the iPhone does not work.

This is the search bar that opens when you slide your finger down on the home screen (when you see all the app icons).

Even after two IOS versions and restoring from a backup the problem persists.

The problem is temporarily solved when I restart the device or when I go to settings > home screen > search > show on home screen and turn the option off or on.

Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Thanks in advance

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

I experienced the same issue.

I saw the spotlight search, but it was not responding. But my failed attempts would appear as "recent searches".

In the App Library, hitting enter after typing something would open the first app in the library.

What worked for me: Turning off Siri. Both voice activation and by side button.
